Yeah, the 305 has the same stroke as the 350 but smaller bores. This seriously limited its power output potential due to valve shrouding and head selection. It was somewhat of an opposite approach to what Ford did with the 302, which had a short stroke and large bore.
Probably intended / designed for lower RPM torque intended of higher RPM HP ?
